The Chicago Red Stars have announced their final international. Formiga. Did you guess?I know I didn't. Even though i knew she was released by FC Gold Pride I did not think she would end up in Chicago or was a Emma Hayes type of player.
The Brazilian midfielder returns to WPS after playing for FC Gold Pride in 2009. Starting in 15 of 16 games played. She was voted on to the All-Star team but could not play due to a knee injury towards the end of the season.
"Her record speaks for itself," Red Stars Head Coach Emma Hayes said. "We've acquired one of the top playmaking midfielders in the world. We're going to be looking toward her experience to drive this team, and she's joining an already exceptional group of players."
Formiga will unite with her Brazilian teammate Cristiane. Can't wait to hear the samba drums at Toyota Park!
